NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray will only drive 5 mph over the speed limit

NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray visited the For The Win offices on Thursday afternoon, where he answered some questions we had about rules of the road and why his life — despite being a professional athlete — may be more normal than it appears.

While he may drive really really fast on a racetrack, when it comes to driving in everyday life, McMurray said that his limit to driving over the speed limit was 5 mph.

“That’s my comfort zone,” he said. “If I pass a cop, then I feel like I’m safe. Because I feel like there’s always someone going much faster than me and that they wouldn’t want to waste their time with five over.”
